Bayat, a variety of Iraq Turkic

Abstract

In this paper, we present Bayat, a variety of Iraq Turkic spoken in villages around Kerkük,Iraq. For Iraq Turkic, we provide background information on the classification, dialects, number of speakers and orthography. The article contains 22 sample sentences excerpted from three folk tales translated by us from Turkish into Bayat Iraq Turkic. These sentences are presented using the Arabic orthography formerly used for Iraq Turkic, as well as IPA and Turcological tran scription. They are glossed, translated into English, and annotated with grammatical infor mation. The total translated and recorded folk tale text amounts to about 1000 words. Charac teristics of Bayat phonology, morphology, and syntax are outlined and illustrated with exam ples from the text. Notable linguistic features distinguishing Bayat from other Iraq Turkic va rieties include the development of Old Turkic velar /ŋ/ into /y/ in certain suffixes and lack of fronting in stop articulation. Audio recordings, IPA transcriptions, and morphological analyses are presented to contribute primary data on this under-documented variety of Iraq Turkic.
